What are the best pick-up lines to use on Bumble? This wikiHow article covers everything you might want to say to spark up a conversation on the popular dating app. In heterosexual relationships, women must start the conversation on Bumble, but men can still peruse these potential pick-up lines to incorporate into conversation. Bumble also allows you to respond to a user's picture or prompt with a compliment, offering another avenue for a pick-up line.
Steps
-
Cut to the chase with a hint of sarcasm. Women can initiate a conversation on Bumble by humorously referring to a major relationship milestone, such as a wedding. Humor is always a good way to start things off with your match, and this particular brand of humor allows for plenty of flirting along the way.
-
Stop worrying about using the "L" word. Referring to "love" can be daunting in any relationship, but you can jokingly use the term in your very first message to reduce the awkwardness surrounding it. This pickup line communicates your interest in the other person, while still framing it as a lighthearted joke.
-
Demonstrate some flirty confidence. This witty pickup line acknowledges your own attractiveness as a Bumble user , while also inviting the other user to share some additional interests. It's also a pretty funny and clever joke!

- If the user is traveling in the photo, you can ask about the location or share that you have been there too!
- If the user is wearing a graphic tee, you can ask about the band/movie/pop culture item that appears on it.
-
Make a flirty and self-deprecating joke. Girls get the first move on Bumble, so why not have some fun with it? Poke fun at yourself and the concept of a "bad girl" with this clever pick-up line.

Make sure that your pick-up line matches the vibe of your profile. If you're looking for purely casual encounters, keep your bio light and casual, just like this pick-up line. Make it clear that you're looking for something fun, not a long-term commitment.
-
Encourage your match to ask you on a date with this feline pun. If you love cats, this pick-up line might be especially perfect for you. It could also work if you see a cat in the other user's photos.
- This pick-up line is unique in that it puts the ball in your match's court as far as planning a date is concerned.
-
Get your match's number quickly with this playful pick-up line. The goal of any good conversation on Bumble is to eventually shift the discussion off the app. Cut to the chase and try to get your match's phone number right away.
- You could also try something like "Something's wrong with my phone! Your number isn't in it".
-
Comment on your match's pet. If your match has a picture with their pet, say something about it! This is especially effective if you are an animal-lover yourself. [1] X Research source
-
Get an honest answer out of your match. Asking someone how they are doing can often feel obligatory and meaningless, but emphasizing that you really mean it can lead to an honest and insightful answer! Show your match that you care with this pick-up line. [2] X Research source
- You could also try other sincere approaches like "what's on your mind today?" or "how are you feeling?"
-
Recognize and commend your match's music taste. Shared interests are always a good idea when chatting on Bumble, and a shared taste in music can foster an instant connection! Compliment your match's taste in music, and follow up with a question about concerts.
- You could also ask them if they collect records or similar music-related memorabilia.
-
Inquire about your date's professional life. Most Bumble profiles include a note about the user's job. Ask them about their job for an easy introduction!
- Be careful not to dwell on their job for too long. When looking for a partner on Bumble, most people want to discuss topics beyond their professional life.
"I just spent the last 15 minutes trying to think of a pick-up line, but this is all I could come up with"
-
Offer a straightforward compliment. Everyone likes compliments, so consider saying something nice about your match's smile. You can also compliment their eyes, their hair, or an outfit they are wearing.
- Try to avoid commenting on other parts of your match's body with this first message. Once you get closer you may both feel more comfortable with each other, but these kinds of compliments may come across as shallow or offensive early on.
"Pick a time period, and I’ll try to come up with a pickup line related to that era."
-
Give yourself a challenge with this fun invitation. Developing the perfect pick-up line can be hard, so why not give yourself some inspiration? Offer your match a prompt such as this one, and then come up with a pick-up line based on their response.
- You can ask your match to pick anything, such as their favorite animal or color. Just be prepared to think of a pick-up line that relates!
-
Expand your dating horizons with this question. Everyone loves to travel (or dream of traveling at least), so why not explore the possibilities with your match? Ask them where they would like to travel, and give yourself an immediate topic to discuss.
- If the user already has a travel-related photo on their profile, try using that as a jumping-off point.
